Types of Injuries We Represent

MPJ Law Firm represents clients facing a wide range of injuries, each of which brings unique physical, emotional, and financial challenges. We advocate for clients dealing with:

  • Traumatic Injuries

    Traumatic injuries, such as brain and spinal cord injuries or amputations, often lead to lifelong challenges. Brain injuries can affect cognition, memory, and personality, while spinal injuries may result in paralysis or mobility limitations. These injuries frequently require extensive medical care, therapy, and adaptive devices, and they can dramatically alter your daily life and ability to work. MPJ Law Firm is committed to pursuing the compensation needed to cover these significant and ongoing costs, so you and your family can focus on recovery and adaptation.



  • Serious Bodily Harm

    Serious bodily injuries, including fractures, crush injuries, and severe burns, can have lasting physical and psychological effects. Fractures and crush injuries often require surgery, physical therapy, and lengthy recovery times, while burns may necessitate reconstructive surgery and can result in permanent scarring or disfigurement. These injuries bring both physical pain and emotional distress, impacting one’s confidence and quality of life. Our team is dedicated to securing the resources needed for your medical care, rehabilitation, and any support required to move forward after such a traumatic event.



  • Psychological Impact

    Severe physical injuries don’t just affect the body—they also take a toll on mental health. Many victims experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges that arise from the trauma of an injury. Accessing counseling or psychiatric care can be essential to a complete recovery, and these expenses should not be a burden on victims. At MPJ Law Firm, we understand the importance of mental health support and work to ensure that compensation accounts for the psychological impacts of your injury, providing you with the resources to heal both physically and emotionally.



  • Long-Term Disabilities

    When injuries lead to permanent disability or disfigurement, the effects can be overwhelming. Long-term disabilities often require lifelong medical care, adaptive equipment, home modifications, and sometimes full-time care assistance. Such injuries impact a person’s independence, employability, and overall quality of life. Our team fights to secure compensation that addresses both the current and future needs associated with your disability, allowing you to maintain your dignity and access the support needed to live as fully as possible.

Elements of a Personal Injury Claim

MPJ Law Firm stands by you through each step of your claim, working to obtain the compensation that reflects the full scope of your injuries and the emotional toll they’ve taken on you and your loved ones. To establish a successful personal injury claim, we must demonstrate the following:

  • Duty of Care: The defendant owed a duty to act responsibly (e.g., a driver to pedestrians, a property owner to visitors).
  • Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to uphold this duty, acting in a negligent or reckless manner.
  • Causation: The breach directly caused the injuries sustained by the plaintiff.
  • Damages: The injuries resulted in measurable harm, whether physical, financial, or emotional.

Our team is experienced in proving each of these elements to build a strong case and maximize your compensation.

The Importance of Prompt Consultation

If your injury was caused by another’s negligence, it’s critical to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Quick action helps in several ways:


  • Preserving Evidence: Time-sensitive evidence, such as photos, records, and witness statements, can be more effectively gathered soon after the incident.
  • Avoiding Insurance Pitfalls: Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim. Speaking with an attorney first ensures you’re protected from tactics that could harm your case.
  • Statute of Limitations: In New Mexico, personal injury claims must be filed within three years from the date of the injury. Delaying can forfeit your right to compensation.

The sooner you contact MPJ Law Firm, the sooner we can begin building a strong case on your behalf, protecting your rights, and maximizing your chances for a favorable outcome.
